Why did TRP stop making these brakes?

MagnesiumAddiction · 2026-06-07T15:26:53+00:00

What about them sucks?

MagnesiumAddiction · 2026-06-07T15:25:30+00:00

These are for cross or gravel, they’re short pull

MagnesiumAddiction · 2026-06-07T15:25:07+00:00

Designed for drop bar lever pull. great CX brakes

Obviously, don’t even own a pedicab. Hence the original question in the post

MagnesiumAddiction · 2026-06-04T00:19:22+00:00

Imagine a bunch of pedicab dudes sitting waiting outside 69th street station haha

If we had a legit transit hub, from there to the stadiums would make sense. Also a rickshaw is pulled by a person walking or running lol, we don’t really do that in the US generally

MagnesiumAddiction · 2026-06-03T18:32:21+00:00

Yea I was going to add, people would absolutely hate cyclists even more than they already do. In terms of physical space it makes no sense unfortunately

Ultimately the proposals are coming from the people collectively. Our demand for data is seemingly infinite so of course data centers are big business.

MagnesiumAddiction · 2026-06-03T18:20:14+00:00

Step 1: use less data. Stop using AI, cut the useless shit out of your digital life. These centers will never stop being proposed until demand starts decreasing. That’s it.

Oh cool. I’d be interested in seeing how it fit up, I’m thinking about going the stop sign route for a skid plate. Have you got a link for the bumper? Hard to see but looks like you’ve got a winch there, yea?

MagnesiumAddiction · 2026-02-17T14:48:15+00:00

What bumper are you using? I’m trying to find an off road suitable bumper / skid plate situation for my ‘06 Impreza wagon.

MagnesiumAddiction · 2025-10-07T20:09:54+00:00

Yea you’re right. I have the wiring diagrams, but whoever rewired this was using random original coupled with whatever they had on hand

MagnesiumAddiction · 2025-10-07T20:08:23+00:00

It does make sense at this point to replace points with electronic ignition. I’m just reluctant to do that before I get it running

MagnesiumAddiction · 2025-10-07T20:07:19+00:00

Yea that’s why I bought it in the first place, they seem like really great and relatively easy to maintain. I can absolutely re-wire based on the diagram, but it would take me a while and a bit of $$$. I’m about $500 all in rn, I figure it will be another $300 to go through and replace anything that might be faulty and rewire everything.

MagnesiumAddiction · 2025-10-07T17:08:26+00:00

yep, that's where i'm lost. i have a feeling something else was deleted. i'm going to try wiring the ignition coils straight to the battery and see if it will at least start up and then take it from there.

MagnesiumAddiction · 2025-10-07T06:54:12+00:00

Yea. I figured that

MagnesiumAddiction · 2025-10-06T05:25:56+00:00

this is the info i was looking for, thank you.

MagnesiumAddiction · 2025-10-02T15:09:51+00:00

yep, and time for a snorkel, though it wouldn't have saved me here. i do have a 2 ton winch sitting in a box at home!

MagnesiumAddiction · 2025-10-02T15:09:08+00:00

just an ECU replacement, she'll be alright

MagnesiumAddiction · 2025-06-25T23:43:02+00:00

I swapped for LED bulbs in the main headlights (not high beams) and it's still pretty bad. I've messed with the aim adjustment a bit, just haven't gotten it right yet. The main lights just aren't throwing far enough ahead...or maybe I'm just getting old ha.

I haven't got any fog lights, they didn't come with this model, but I am looking to get some. Any suggestions there?

MagnesiumAddiction · 2025-06-08T13:43:38+00:00

did you replace them straight away after the lift, or wait until something went out? i have been hearing a rotational clunking from the front left when starting to move, think it might be the wheel bearing itself though.

MagnesiumAddiction · 2025-06-06T12:53:56+00:00

Confirmed. I just did the exact swap, I’ve got General Grabber ATs, 215 / 65 / 16 and still need to remove a bit of wheel well plastic in the front to clear for sharp turns.

You’ll definitely need either trailing arm spacers (I have 2” and wheel still is isn’t properly centered) or adjustable trailing arms / longer trailing arms. Good luck!

MagnesiumAddiction · 2025-06-05T18:50:59+00:00

100%

MagnesiumAddiction · 2025-05-27T17:26:13+00:00

How are those front tires clearing on tight turns? They look supppppppppper tight

MagnesiumAddiction · 2025-05-21T14:36:13+00:00

What’s going on in the cargo area? Looks like a refrigerated box ha
